Española Humane wins Best Nonprofit for Animals

SF Railyard 740 Cerrillos Rd, Santa Fe

Española Humane is celebrating its second year in a row winning the coveted first place for Best Nonprofit for Animals in the Santa Fe Reporter’s Best of Santa Fe.

The shelter, located in Española, north of Santa Fe, encourages its supporters to join in its celebration by joining the annual Best Of Santa Fe winners party on Friday, Aug. 2, from 5-9 p.m. in the Santa Fe Railyard.
The party features games, food, music and runs concurrent with Lensic 360′s Santa Fe Salutes: Taylor concert.

Here’s what The Reporter wrote about our first-place win:

"Española Humane takes the first-place spot for the second year in a row as a result of the top-notch care it provides for its animals, and the role it plays across the state—whether it’s jumping in to help shelters in Ruidoso during the fires or intervening in litigation to protect the state’s spay and neutering laws. You’ll also spot its staff at local events all year long (including at the Aug. 2 Best of Santa Fe party in the Railyard) as part of the shelter’s quest to find forever homes for the animals in their care. According to Communications Director Mattie Allen, the small-but-mighty shelter helps out whenever possible. 'We just go above and beyond to work together within and outside of our community to lend a hand and hold the door open,' she says."

The shelter thanks everyone for their support for each and every year. See you at the party!
